#DeleteFacebook Movement Gathers Steam

Many Facebook members reportedly have shuttered their accounts in the wake of reports that Cambridge Analytica, a voter profiling company working for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, harvested data from 50 million users, unbeknownst to them. Indignation over Facebook’s role in the data leak has mushroomed, and some users have taken to Twitter to announce their liberation from the social network. Facebook has been in hot water before over allegations of privacy intrusion and misuse of members’ data, but it weathered those storms.
